Dance Classes

Ballet | Tap | Modern | Jazz | Pointe | Dance Acro | Movers

Technical dance classes include styles like ballet, tap, modern, jazz,acro and pointe. They are perfect for girls and boys from 18 months right up to adult.

In the earlier years we teach using a combination of music and imagination to take the little ones on a magical adventure where movement to music forms the foundations of dance technique. At this age we combine dance styles into one class to keep it fun and exciting.

As dance students get older, classes are split into individual disciplines and we concentrate on honing technique and performance. Our students start taking exams in Ballet, Tapand Modernand have the opportunity to perform on stage at our biennial school dance show.

Finding the classes that are right for you...

We've had a bit of fun with the dance class names so they relate to an age group. That way it's easy to find the classes available for your little one(s).

This is how it works:

Tiny = 1.5 - 3 years

Little = 3 - 5 years

Mini = 5 - 7 years

Junior = 7+ years

Lower = 9+ years

Inters = 11+ years

Senior = 13+ years

Progression is based primarily on ability and age, but is ultimately down to teacher discretion. As childrenget older there's more variance in strength, experience and ability, so the age groups are really just an indicator.

Any questions... Contact Us to discuss the best options for your child. We always do our very best to accommodate where we can.
